Series 3 - Episode 1: Vadum Jakob

If there's a single period in history that really gets the imagination racing it's the time of the Crusades, which are always the subject of much historical speculation and are surrounded by myth and mystery. Happily, the infamous siege of Vadum Jakob - a strategically important castle on the River Jordan in northern Israel - is helping by giving up its secrets to a carefully chosen set of archaeologists.

Series 2 - Episode 2: Band of Brothers

A fascinating investigation into the tombs of the English knights who returned from Agincourt - many date to roughly the same period, immortalising Henry V and his 'happy few' in English alabaster for hundreds of years until the present day. It's an intriguing record of how the survivors fed back into society and formed the strength of the Plantagenet period.
